Champions, Featherweight Semifinals Top 8-Fight Bellator 41 Card

Bellator
Fighting Championships’ 145-and-under set will be on display
Saturday night, when
Bellator 41 hosts a pair of non-title bouts featuring the
company’s featherweight and bantamweight champions, as well as two
145-pound tournament semifinals.

The promotion on Wednesday released the full eight-bout bill for
the MTV2-televised event, which emanates from Cocopah Resort and
Casino in Yuma, Ariz.

Headlining the main card is 145-pound champion Joe Warren
(Pictured), who meets Ring of
Combat featherweight titlist Marcos
Galvao in a 137-pound catchweight affair. The action will be
Warren’s first since the hard-nosed wrestler claimed his gold from
Joe
Soto last September. Galvao enters on a three-fight win streak
and has not been defeated since his 2009 exit from
World Extreme Cagefighting.

In the co-main event, Bellator bantamweight ace Zach
Makovsky faces unbeaten Texan Chad
Robichaux. The 28-year-old champion went 6-0 in 2010, last
entering the cage in October, when he notched a five-round
unanimous decision over Ed West in the
third-season tournament final. Robichaux, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu
black belt, fought just once last year, taking a narrow split
decision in his Strikeforce
debut against Humberto
DeLeon.
